Best Twin Stroller For Newborns
A double stroller is essential if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. The best ones provide multiple ways for your kids to ride with you, including side-by-side seating as well as the ability to attach a rider's board.
Lauren Ro, a writer and strategist, has a favorite is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono, which adapts seamlessly as your family expands. It can fit two infant car seats, as well as the toddler seat. This makes it an excellent option for twins.
Bugaboo Donkey
This is the most suitable twin stroller for families who want a stylish double side-by-side stroller. It is a little larger than the other Bugaboo models, but it feels sturdy and built to last. It has an adjustable handlebar that retracts and extends easily. It has a decent reach so that my husband, who is 6'1" can easily push it when he is fully loaded.
Seats are large and can be positioned so that one child sits in front of another or so that the children face each the other. They can also recline independently from each other. The canopies are huge and cover both fabric when desired. They're not a lot of ventilation and can be like an oven on hot days. There's no peek-a-boo window to look at your children.
One of the most unique aspects of this stroller is its capacity to adapt to your family's needs from the single seat (Mono mode) to grow to a double side-by-side stroller. It is the only double tandem pushchair stroller convertible to do this. It can even be used in conjunction with another bassinet or car seat for infants.
It is easy to use on smooth surfaces, and it handles stairs and slopes with ease. The only issue is that it can be difficult to navigate busy restaurants and shops. It can also be difficult to fold up, especially when seats are connected. It is still fairly small, however, and can be tucked away easily.
There is an extra storage bin that fits on the frame next to the front seat in mono mode. This is useful for groceries and other items. The main storage basket beneath the seats is large and can support up to 100 pounds that is more than any other stroller on this list!
Uppababy Vista v2
This is among the top twin stroller with car seats strollers for new newborns. It can be used straight out of box as a double stroller, and is compatible with numerous infant car seats and bassets. It can even accommodate two infant car seats or bassets at the same time when you purchase the Vista Upper and Lower adapters.
The V2 is a more refined version of the original Vista. The toddler seat is about an inch higher, the footrest has more space, and the canopy comes with an extender for the fabric that zips out, which gives extra coverage. The harness has been updated in that it does not require re-threading. This makes it easier to adjust.
The stroller comes with large wheels (8" in front and 11.5" in back) and a sturdy suspension system that lets it handle any terrain. The rubber wheels on the front are ideal for navigating gravel and rocks and the tread on the rear wheels is more suitable for sidewalks and grassy hills.
A child's bicycle can be connected to the front of the stroller. This is a great option for parents who don't wish to use a car seat. If you have a child who's old enough to stand then the Vista stroller can accommodate a third child with its piggyback board accessory.
The Vista is simple to use and set up, although it does take some time to unpack all of the protective packaging. The instructions are simple to follow and there's also a YouTube video to help should you require further assistance.

Cortina Together
Cortina Together is designed for families that are growing and offers parents a variety of seating options to meet the preferences and needs of every child. The double tandem pushchair stroller's standard stroller seats have reclining backrests and independent canopy. They're also designed to take one of Chicco's top-rated KeyFit or KeyFit 30 infant car seats in the front seat and rear seat (car seat sold separately) using the exclusive click-in attachment, without the need for add-on straps and bars, as many competing models require.
A comfortable three-position handle can be used by dad or mom, and a zippered rear access large basket offers ample storage space for gear. The tandem nipper double Buggy stroller's suspension and wheels provide a smooth ride over all types of terrain, and the one-touch linked rear brakes with toe-tap activation makes stopping easy.
In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well in terms of ease of use. This is based on how easy it is to fold and set up the stroller, adjust the safety harness and open and close the snack tray, disengage and engage the brakes, and lift and carry the folded stroller as if putting it into a trunk, and for double strollers that are compatible install and take off the infant car seat.
We did find some drawbacks to this model, however. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the top of our measurement. In addition, it has a limited view from the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release isn't always easy to use, particularly after long-term use. However, despite these issues, we still believe this is a fantastic double stroller that will be able to keep up with your family for years to come.
Jeep Double Stroller
Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side Double Stroller - A lightweight, budget-friendly stroller for families with 2 children. Its front swivel lock wheels can be rotated to allow easy maneuvering on flat surfaces and lock to give stability on bumpy surfaces. It comes with a compact folding umbrella that can be closed in just a few seconds. It can also stand upright to make transporting it easier. Its aluminum frame is light, foam handles and carrying strap make it one of the easiest-to-lift double strollers in our tests.
This tandem stroller comes with independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. The large canopy provides UPF 50 protection and includes an open view for easy monitoring. We would like to see the canopy vented to let in more airflow though. We didn't like the fact that the cup holder sits very high up on the frame. You'll have to bend down to reach it.
In our tipping-test in our tipping-test, the Jeep fell over at a 39 degree angle, which is higher than average for a double pram. It's also a little heavier than our top picks but it does provide plenty of storage space for the price and comes with plenty of padding on the seats and handle.
This stroller is multi-functional and has three modes. It can be used as a wagon (for stuff) as well as a jogger mode (with two safety belts with five points for children), or car seat mode. It can fit one car seat for infants, but pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is six months old before running with them, and one year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
